This is where I write. I mostly try to make people laugh. If you did not laugh, perhaps there is a video of an animal doing something humorous you could view? Try searching YouTube for "puppy" and "groin", I'll bet that does the trick. Just make sure you include the "puppy" part.

Cassowaries are Awesome

No blog post this week, we're on vacation up in Queensland visiting friends, hitting the Great Barrier Reef, and hopefully... more crocodiles! However we did see something awesome already that I thought I'd share because, well, it's just so awesome:

Some facts about Cassowaries:

They have three dagger-sharp toes that can totally mess you up

Critically endangered

There's only 1500-2500 left

The area we were in is the largest density in Queensland... where there's 40

Male cassowaries take the female's last name, or something like that. One way or another the female takes off while the dude raises the kids

The cassowary is the only animal capable of dispersing the seeds of more than 70 different species of tree
